History of Shelly Swimming School

Director and founder Shelly Bi established the school in March 2007. It started in the western suburbs of Sydney and has since grown into branches and locations across the city.

The school was founded to give local communities a unique, technique-based foundation in swimming, with lessons for babies through to adults. Everyone should have access to swimming education and water safety skills.
